Letter to the editor: Obamacare first step for new Bill of Rights

"So I'm going to keep doing everything in my power to make sure this law works as it's supposed to. Because in the United States of America, health insurance isn't a privilege--it is your right. And we're going to keep it that way".

President Obama said the above speaking about Obamacare. Please read carefully. He is actually saying that HEALTH INSURANCE is a RIGHT in America! Not HEALTH CARE, but insurance.

Now please think about this. Is there anything in your life more important than health insurance? I can think of four things more important - (1) food, (2) clothing, (3) shelter, (4) a job or money. All agree?

This statement gave me an AHA! Moment. If one wanted to change America from our capitalistic system to one where the government controlled the economy and cared for us from cradle to grave, how would one go about it?

Answer: change the Bill of Rights. Replace it with a "new" Bill of Rights that guarantees everyone a basic life funded by taxpayers. Food, clothing, shelter, job/living wage and health insurance. Could this be sold to the American people?

As a complete package, never! But, if you were to start with number five on the list, health insurance, and convince enough people to go along with this, then if successful, you have automatically made the case for the top four! How could anyone, after it is agreed and made law, deny that the other things are not also "RIGHTS"!

See it? I used to think that Obama was in over his head, unqualified, and incompetent.

I was wrong. He just might be a genius.
